Most toasters require access to an electric wall outlet. If the toaster is plugged in but isn't working, check the cable for damage first, then plug the toaster into a different outlet.  If plugging the toasted into a different outlet doesn't help, then the toaster might be broken. Don't use the toaster if the cable appears damaged in some way. Check for damage, such as rips, tears, or scorch marks. Do not, under any circumstances, put a metal implement into the toaster while it is plugged in. Likewise, do not reach your hand into the toasting slots while the appliance is hot. The toaster works by firing metal filaments up to high heat using dangerous electrical currents. If you use your hand, you may burn yourself. If you put a fork into the slots, then you run the risk of electrocuting yourself.  If the toast gets stuck in the slots: try depressing the lever for a moment, then popping it up manually—quickly, with force—to fling the toast out the top of the toaster. Unplug the toaster before you try to remove food that is stuck. Then, use wooden tongs to remove the item. Wooden tongs will not conduct electricity! when it's not plugged in. Most toasters feature a flat, removable tray that slides in and out of the bottom of the appliance. This tray catches crumbs and burnt bits. Remove the tray and dump out the contents to clear space for more crumbs.  If your toaster doesn't have a tray, unplug it first, then carry it over to a sink or trashcan. Turn it upside down and shake the crumbs out. You need to remove these crumbs; otherwise, they become a fire hazard.

TL;DR in English: Make sure that the toaster is plugged in. Practice toaster safety. Clean a toaster

This includes goals, living arrangements, etc. Actual perfection, when nothing ever goes wrong and everything is amazing, is not possible. But you can get close by paying attention to your hopes and desires, striving to better yourself, and enjoying the present moment. When you envision your perfect day, what do you see? Who is there, what are you doing, and where are you?  Focus on things in your control, like your studies, career goals, and lifestyle. Think of people whose lives you admire. What about their life appeals to you? There is no "right" way to live a perfect life, so don't try and imitate anyone else. Instead, follow your own passions, dreams, and desires. Volunteering, tutoring a friend, and helping your parents around the house aren't just nice things to do, they can improve your own well-being. Doing good makes you feel good and it builds a loving, supportive network of people around you that will help if your own life ever gets tough. Make your life about more than just you and the feeling of perfection will creep one step closer. Education is, and always will be, the easiest way to make something of your life. Through education you improve your job prospects, your ability to think and reason in any situation, and your general knowledge on a variety of subjects. School, however, often makes it difficult to truly enjoy learning, turning it instead into a stressful chore you must slog through. However, by re-framing school as a chance for a free education, enjoying the learning purely for leaning's sake, you can find new motivation to study and grow with or without a teacher. The old adage, "knowledge is power," could not be truer. It doesn't matter what you do in life, the ability to learn and hold knowledge will help you be successful and happy. You are busy, and it often feels like people need teenagers to do 8,000 things every 24 hours. But you need to put your own happiness first sometimes in order to do you very best work. Each day, take 15 minutes or more to yourself. You could read,...

TL;DR in English: Write down what perfection means to you. Make time to help others. Look at schooling as a chance to grow and learn, not a forced chore. Give yourself some "me time" each day. Enjoy the present moment, even when things are hard. Reframe negative thoughts and experiences as positives. Remember that life isn't perfect-- and that is a good thing.

You only get one chance to make a first impression and it is important to make it count! When you are meeting someone new, make sure that you do everything you can to make a great first impression. This will help you to stand out.  For example, if you are meeting someone for a first date, make sure that you have practiced your entrance, introduction, and anything else that might come up in the first few minutes of meeting the person. Try telling a joke, wearing a flashy new outfit, or picking an interesting place to meet the person. . Listening can also help you to stand out since not everyone possesses this important skill. Develop your listening skills and practice them whenever you get a chance.  For example, you can practice good listening skills when your teacher is explaining the daily homework, when your best friend tells you about their day, or when your boss is describing a special project. To be a good listener, make eye contact and nod to show you are paying attention, rephrase what the person says to show them that you understood them, and ask questions to show your interest in what they are saying. Kindness is not a trait everyone possesses either, so showing kindness to everyone can also help you to stand out. Be nice to everyone you meet or interact with even if you have nothing to gain by being nice to them. For example, if there is a new student in your class, invite them to have lunch with you. If your office has just hired an intern for the summer, then let them know you are available if they have any questions. While you may not always want to voice an opinion on divisive issues, staying focused on your opinion while listening to other people can help you to stay true to yourself. By maintaining your stance, you may also avoid giving in to requests and ideas that you are against.  For example, if you have a strong opinion on who should win the next presidential election, then you might keep this idea in mind any time you are involved in a conversation where people are discussing the...

TL;DR in English:


Find a way to relax. Accept any wrongdoing and let it go. Recognize that you can’t be perfect. Stay away from circumstances that make you feel bad. Forgive yourself

A wound watch will run accurately from 18 to 36 hours - depending on the mechanism. Larger watches have larger mechanisms. Smaller watches have smaller, more delicate mechanisms.  Mechanical watches should be wound at least weekly, even if they are in storage. It might become routine if you wind the watch when dressing in the morning or before bed. You don’t need to purchase specialty oils or cleaners to care for your watch. Clean your watch with a toothbrush and warm water. Dip the toothbrush in the warm water and wipe off the bristles to remove excess water. Scrub the exterior and inside the stem with the toothbrush.  Don’t use too much force when cleaning inside the stem and crown. Don’t remove the screws and attempt to clean the gears, unless you know how to. Consult a watch specialist about cleaning the inside of your wristwatch. Watches are delicate instruments and you should be cautious when putting one away in storage. The best way to protect your watch is by wrapping it in a protective coating. This could be bubble wrap or another packaging protective fabric.  You should store the watch in an environment that is cool, clean, and dust free. Keep the watch out of direct sunlight.  You should attempt to wind it every week while in storage.

TL;DR in English: Wind the watch daily. Clean your watch. Store your watch properly.

Using your campaign media staff, come up with a way to get your name out there. Some ways to do this are billboards, newspaper ads, TV ads, online ads, etc. Give speeches and set up fundraisers. Be creative.  You may want to start with the early caucus states like Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. These states can give you an early lead that is hard to catch up in the long run. They'll also give you a boost in being considered for the party nomination. Be ready to travel. If it wasn't already clear, you'll need to quit your job. You'll be racking up those miles daily, so load up on Dramamine, deodorant, and sign up for a Premier Member card at your favorite chain of hotels. Campaigning requires vast amounts of money. Come up with an easy way to accept donations and to stay in touch with your initial backers. They're your bread and butter for a long time coming. Luckily, you've probably been public speaking for months, so the basics shouldn't be foreign to you. But when you get in front of those bright lights and that timer, the gloves come off. Start practicing ASAP -- you'll be glad you did. Know what you believe and are advocating. What's more, know what everyone else believes. Not only do you have to have you down, but you have to have your opponents and the world down too. Study precedents, current events, and all your competitors so you know what to expect when you get in the inquisition arena. If you come unprepared, the whole country will be watching your darting eyes and unsteady hands. Do the research on debating techniques while you're at it. You need to be forceful but not a stick-in-the-mud, caring but not a pushover, and charismatic to boot. You've spent a lot of hard-earned time and money campaigning and now you're getting down to the nitty gritty. If you're vying for a spot with the Republican or Democratic party, you have your work cut out for you. Failure may be inevitable.  Surround yourself with a sturdy support system before you get in too deep. They'll be able to catch you when you...

TL;DR in English: Start the campaign. Hone your debating skills. Prepare yourself for anything.

Guilt can take a toll on your physical body. Since guilt usually indicates that you need punishment, you may be caught in a vicious cycle of internal punishment. When you don’t know why you feel guilty, self-punishment can feel especially exhausting. Take time to relax and push the feelings of guilt out of your mind. This will also reduce your stress level.  Help yourself get out of the punishment mode by thinking about something you did correctly that day. For example, congratulate yourself for making it to the gym, making a healthy food choice, or spending time with your family when you didn’t have to. There are many ways to relax, such as practicing breathing exercises, meditating, visualization techniques, and so on. To stop feeling guilty for no reason, you need to let go of your feelings of guilt. Identify any wrongdoing you might have committed, seek forgiveness from yourself and others, and then stop giving yourself permission to feel this way. Accept that there is no way to change what has already happened. Remember that letting go can be choosing to stop blaming others or yourself as well as forgiving yourself and others. Sometimes you may have a constant sense of guilt because you expect perfection from yourself. Consider that you may be demanding something from yourself that you can never have. No one on Earth is perfect. When you expect yourself to be perfect, you set yourself up for failure. A sense of failure can make you maintain feelings of guilt. Instead, tell yourself that you are only human. When you make mistakes, correct them and then stop thinking about it. Find a solution for your guilt by avoiding situations that give you guilty feelings. You may feel guilt for no reason, but some situations make you feel worse than others. Identify these situations and avoid them.  Start by keeping a planner and writing down each of your daily activities in it. After each activity is over, write down how you felt, such as “good,” “happy,” “sad,” or “guilty.” Later, look at your list of emotions and...

Save the remaining ¼ cup (55 grams) of sugar for later. Whole milk would be best, but if you don't have any whole milk on hand, you can use 2% or non-fat instead. If you have not yet done so, melt the butter either in the microwave or in a small saucepan over the stove. Pour the melted butter into the flour mixture, then give it a brisk stir with a whisk. For a richer dessert, use 1 stick (½ cup/115 grams) of melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any excess batter from the bottom and sides of the bowl, and into the baking dish. You can use frozen blackberries if you don't have any fresh ones, but be sure to let them thaw out first. Sprinkle the blackberries evenly across the top of the batter; don't worry if some of them sink in. This will help give the cobbler some texture. Make sure that you sprinkle the sugar evenly across the top of the batter. The cobbler is ready when the batter turns golden and the blackberries bubbly. For added texture, sprinkle 1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons of sugar on top of the cobbler during the final 10 minutes of baking. You can serve it as is, or you can add some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly butter a 8 by 8-inch (20.32 by 20.32-centimeter) baking dish. Mix the flour and 1 cup (225 grams) of sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the milk, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Stir in the melted butter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Add the blackberries on top of the batter. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (55 grams) of sugar on top. Bake the cobbler for 1 hour. Let the cobbler cool before serving it.

Typically, you should avoid washing your hair right before you color it. Your scalp will be healthier if it’s protected from the dye with some of its natural oils, and washing the night before you dye will allow those oils to build back up. In addition, most hair dye brands recommend applying the product to dry hair.  Some semi-permanent dyes work best on clean hair or even require that you wash your hair right before dyeing it, so read the instructions that came in your box of dye to be sure. If your hair is too dirty, the dye might not be able to penetrate your hair evenly, so don’t try to color your hair if it’s been more than 2-3 days since the last time you washed it. Hair dye can be messy, even if you’re careful. Since you’ll be dyeing the hair at the back of your head, it will be even harder to avoid dripping dye. To avoid ruining your nice clothes, put on an old shirt and some shorts or sweatpants. That way, if a little dye does drip onto your clothes, you won’t be worried about it. You could also purchase a hairdresser’s cape to wear over your clothing. Once your hands (or gloves) are covered in dye, it will be really inconvenient to have to go looking for anything. Set up the area where you want to dye your hair with everything you might need during the process. Spread out towels or newspapers on your floor or counter. Also, keep some towels nearby for easy cleanup if a spill or splatter occurs.  If your kit didn’t come with gloves, you’ll need those as well. The process will be easier if you do it in the bathroom and have 2 mirrors, such as a wall-mounted mirror and a handheld mirror, so you can see the back of your head. Use the sink counter as your work station. Snags and tangles could cause the dye to saturate your hair unevenly, so take the time to comb it out before you start the dyeing process. Also, it will be harder to get a perfectly smooth part if your hair is knotted up. To separate out the underlayer, draw a line that starts behind one ear, then goes around the back of your head and to...

Mice can get a variety of infestations that have similar symptoms to a mite infection. For example, mice can get a lice infestation that presents very similarly to a mite infestation. In order for your mouse's issue to be treated correctly, you need to figure out what type of infestation the mouse actually has. When your veterinarian inspects your mouse, they should be able to tell what kind of infestation your mouse has. Treating a mite infestation requires you to apply a medication. The medications used for mite infestations may be applied on the skin, given orally, or injected by the veterinarian. They are usually applied twice, two weeks apart, to kill all adult mites. There are several medications that may be prescribed that are all macrocyclic lactone anti-parasitic drugs:  Selamectin Moxidectin  Ivermectin If the mite infestation has caused your mouse's skin to become infected, you may need to give it additional medication. Discuss this option with your veterinarian, as he or she may want to allow your mouse's immune system time to clear up the infection before relying on medication.  One reason for waiting on further medication is that infections are often treated with antibiotics. Veterinarians are in agreement that antibiotics are overprescribed and that over prescribing them leads to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.  Once the mites are eliminated, it will be easier to get the infection under control. If one of your mice has a mite infestation, and it lives with other mice, then they may all be infested. Discuss the problem with your veterinarian but it is likely that the vet will have you treat all the mice you have. Infestation is transferred via direct contact. If you have other mice that are housed separately, be sure to keep uninfested mice away from the infested mice until the infestation is totally cleared up. Eliminating a mite infestation will require you to thoroughly clean and disinfect all equipment the mouse comes in contact with. This includes its cage, any...

TL;DR in English: Differentiate between infestations. Treat the mouse with a product recommended by your veterinarian. Treat secondary infections. Treat all other mice you have. Clean and disinfect all equipment.

Meditation will clear your mind of the distractions that might keep you from focusing on your studies. Before you sit down to study, set aside fifteen minutes to meditate; this will help you get in the right state of mind for working toward your goals without distractions.  Find a quiet environment. Sit cross-legged on the ground in a comfortable position, supporting your back against a wall if you need to. Close your eyes and focus on the darkness. Think about nothing but the darkness that you see. Don't let yourself think about anything else. When fifteen minutes have passed, get to work! Even if you don't like to read for homework, you probably read every day. You read interesting articles online and watch interesting videos online and on TV. Summary is one of the most useful skills you can have, and it's the foundational building block of everything you do in school. By practicing this skill on stories and information you find personally interesting, you are honing an important academic skill while thinking about something you enjoy. Whether you're in class or sitting at your desk at home, you might find yourself nodding off or getting lost in a daydream because you're bored. A good way to bring your mind back into focus is to practice mindfulness tricks.  Create a simple but distinct action that sends a clear message to yourself It should be something you don't do regularly — wiggling your toes, for example. Every time you feel your mind drifting away, wiggle your toes to snap yourself back into focus. If you feel like your mind is scattered and you can't focus on your goal, give yourself a task that you know you can accomplish that will take up a couple of minutes and that is just difficult enough to require concentration, but not difficult enough to frustrate you. Counting backward from 100 will help calm you down and focus your mind. Studies have shown that exercising for as little as ten minutes before tackling a task can improve performance by increasing the flow of blood to the brain. The effects...

Canvas seats can be made to fit any size person, or project. For a small child, 2 yards (1.8 m) of the canvas will be appropriate, while adults will need 3-4 yards of fabric to form a proper seat. Most canvas should come at a standard width of 1.75 yards. If you want a deeper chair, fold the canvas long-ways, making your cuts along the longer edges of the fabric. If you want your chair wider, cut along the short side. In general, the short-side cut makes a better chair. Fold the canvas in half, short-ways. Orient the folded edge to your left. Mark a point about 7 inches to the left of the top right corner and draw a light diagonal line with pencil, toward the bottom right corner. This is where you'll cut. Again, make sure the folded edge is oriented to your left. You want to cut the unfolded side of the fabric. Go slowly, taking care to avoid creating a raggedy edge to work with. If you do, don't worry too much, because you can fold it over later while you're assembling and creating the edges. Open up the canvas and spread it out to work. You should have a four-sided shape, with two angled edges of equal length, a long side and a short side. Orient the fabric so the shortest side is at the top. Fold each edge back half an inch, then fold it again and iron. Pin them in place, and then stitch the fold twice in two parallel lines to reinforce it. Hemming the top and bottom of the chair seat will help to prevent tearing after frequent use. Hem the diagonal edges as well, but only once. After hemming the long and short sides, fold the diagonals that you cut earlier about a half inch, as you did the other edges. Pin, press, and sew the edge to reinforce it. Fold an inch and a half pocket back on each hemmed diagonal edge, then iron. Sew two reinforced lines along the hem, creating a pocket seam large enough to pull the rope through. Reinforce your beginning and ending with back stitches. These pockets are going to be holding your weight, so they need to be secure. Get creative and use your fabric paint to express...

Apply a thorough coat of repellent to all sides of the pumpkin according to label instructions.  You may need to reapply the repellent every few days, especially after the rain. Many repellents are non-toxic since they are formulated to drive squirrels away rather than kill them. Most deer repellents will also be effective since squirrels and deers are driven off by many of the same scents. Look specifically for a repellent with large amounts of "putrescent whole egg solids." This is, essentially, rotten eggs. Squirrels typically hate the smell of rotten eggs. Be aware that many repellents can have a strong odor, especially immediately after application. The smell tends to dissipate as the spray dries, but in the meantime, you may need to place the pumpkin away from the house. The animosity between squirrel and dog is mutual, and many squirrels will stay away from an area if they smell a dog.  Dog hair is also effective at repelling deer. Cat hair may have a similar effect on squirrels, since larger cats can pose a threat to squirrels. It is best to use pet hair rather than pet waste. Cat waste is especially dangerous to use since it is a source of toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that can cause serious health concerns for pregnant women and people with immune deficiencies. Applying a coat of liquefied hot pepper, hot sauce, or powdered cayenne pepper can give the squirrels in your neighborhood a shock once they take a sniff or nibble.  Blend the hottest peppers you can find with enough water to form a liquid. Add a drop of dish soap and a drop of vegetable oil to help the solution stick and pour it into a spray bottle. Coat the pumpkin every few days with this solution to drive squirrels away. Rub a coat of commercial hot sauce over all sides of the pumpkin. You may need to reapply the sauce after a few days or after the rain, but the hot oils have a way of penetrating the skin and soaking into the flesh of the pumpkin. Create a scent barrier around your pumpkin by sprinkling powdered cayenne pepper...

TL;DR in English: Spray with commercial squirrel repellent. Place the pumpkin on a blanket of dog hair. Use hot pepper or hot sauce. Surround the pumpkin with vinegar. Try eucalyptus oil.

Getting enough sleep while you're on chemotherapy is easier said than done. However, not doing so can make it harder for your immune system to do its job. In fact, sleep deprivation may suppress the immune system.  Skip naps during the day, which can make you less sleepy at night. If you feel tired, get up and do chores or move around to avoid the urge to nap. Also, exercise when you can to improve your sleep. Exercise 5-6 hours before you want to sleep, as exercising too close to bedtime can keep you up. Keep a standard sleeping schedule. Your body grows accustomed to a schedule, and it will anticipate sleep if you go to bed at the same time every night. If you have trouble remembering to go to bed, try setting an alarm an hour before you need to head to bed. Start a bedtime ritual that you repeat every night to remind your body it’s time to go to bed. For example, wash your face, brush your teeth, and tidy up before going to bed each night. Turn off electronics when your bedtime alarm goes off, as using them to close to bed can affect your sleep cycle. Block out noise and light in your bedroom for a better sleeping environment. Keep your bedroom dark and quiet by keeping electronics elsewhere in your home. Don’t go to bed too hungry or too full. If the chemotherapy is giving you insomnia, ask your doctor if a sleeping aid is a good idea. Exercise helps you maintain a healthy immune system. Of course, chemotherapy can make you not want to exercise, but even a little bit can be beneficial and boost your energy.  Always talk to your doctor before starting an exercise regimen, particularly when you're undergoing a treatment like chemotherapy. They can advise you on how much you can do. Your doctor may even recommend a physical therapist. Stick to low-intensity exercises, and rest when you need to.  For instance, try fitting in a few short walks throughout the day up and down your road. Ask your doctor to see if swimming is a viable option. If it is, make sure to dry yourself thoroughly afterward so you don’t...

TL;DR in English: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep a night to keep your immune system on track. Exercise 30 minutes most days of the week when you can. Practice stress-reducing activities to keep your immune system healthy.

After you’ve tasted the whiskey neat, it’s a good idea to add a little water. That helps open up the whiskey so you can pick up more of its flavors. Be sure to use room-temperature water, though, so differences in temperature don’t affect the whiskey’s taste. Mix still or flat water into your whiskey, not carbonated or sparkling. After adding the water, allow the whiskey to sit for as long as 20 minutes. During this time, the water slowly changes the flavor of the whiskey, which will allow you to notice more of a difference when you taste the whiskey again.  Adding the water to the whiskey can help bring out subtle flavors that you didn't pick up when it was neat. For example, you may be able to taste citrus notes or a nutty flavor that you didn't detect at first tasting. The water can also help tone down the alcohol taste of the whiskey, so if it had an unpleasant finish, you may find that you like it better with the water. Once the water is added to the whiskey, smell it once more. See if you can pick up any different aromas that you didn’t earlier. Next, sip the whiskey in the same fashion you did earlier and look for any changes in the aroma or flavor.

Practice basic addition and subtraction to estimate your receipt. Use multiplication to calculate the cost of gas. Use sales and discounts to practice percents. Use mental division to split a bill.

"Buenas" is derived from the adjective "bueno," and "noches" is the plural form for the feminine noun meaning "night." Together they are used similarly to "good evening" in English.  Since there's no verb in the phrase, it doesn't change regardless of who you're addressing. "Buenas noches" can be used either as a greeting or a farewell, as long as it's dark out. However, it's more commonly used as a greeting. Translated literally, this phrase means "happy night," but it is used in the same way you would say "goodnight" in English. This is considered a polite evening farewell.  For example, if you were meeting your in-laws for the first time, you might say "feliz noche" to them as you were parting ways. Another polite farewell to use late in the evening is "que tengan buena noche" (kay tehn-GEHN boo-EHN-ah noh-CHAY), which means "have a good night." " Just as you might say "evening" instead of "good evening" in English, you can use "buenas" to mean "buenas noches." Since this short form doesn't indicate a time of day, you can use it anytime, although it's more frequently used in the afternoon and evening. The word descansa is taken from the verb descansar, and basically means "rest." In casual situations, you can say this as a way to say goodnight, especially if it's late and everyone is headed home for bed.  If you're saying farewell to a group of people, say (vosotros) "descansad" or (ustedes) "descansen," depending on your level of familiarity with the people and the customs of the country. This is a more casual farewell, typically used when you're on more familiar terms with the people you're addressing.

TL;DR in English: Say "buenas noches" (boo-EHN-ahs noh-CHAYS). Use "feliz noche" (fay-LEEZ noh-CHAY) as a farewell in more formal situations. Shorten your greeting to "buenas. Use "descansa" (days-CAHN-sah) at the end of the evening.

A bug in Creative Cloud 2015 and 2017 products prevents the "Photoshop" option from appearing in Bridge if either Photoshop or Bridge is out of date. You can update both of these programs by doing the following:  Open the Creative Cloud program. Click ⋮ in the upper-right corner. Click Check for App Updates  Click Update All if prompted. Keep in mind that updating doesn't always fix this problem. If your programs are both updated to the 2017 version, consider deleting and reinstalling Photoshop and Bridge, or use Photoshop's Scripts instead. Once you've finished updating both Bridge and Photoshop if necessary, restart your computer by doing the following:   Windows — Click Start, click Power, and click Restart.  Mac — Click the Apple menu, click Restart..., and click Restart when prompted. In order to speed up the process of opening your selected images in Photoshop, both Bridge and Photoshop should be open. Click a photo location on the left side of Bridge, then hold down Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ Command (Mac) while clicking each photo that you want to open as a layer. It's a tab in the upper-left corner of the Bridge window (Windows) or your Mac's screen (Mac). A drop-down menu will appear. This option is near the bottom of the drop-down menu. Doing so prompts a pop-out menu to appear. If you still don't see Photoshop in the Tools menu, you may need to use Photoshop's Scripts instead. You can also try deleting and reinstalling both Photoshop and Bridge. You'll find this option in the pop-out menu. Clicking it prompts Bridge to send your selected images into Photoshop, where they will be organized into one project as multiple layers. Once Photoshop displays your new project with your photos displayed as layers, you're free to close Bridge and begin working in Photoshop. You can switch between the individual layers by clicking the one that you want to view in the "Layers" window that's on the right side of Photoshop.

Keep track of the cost of things that you purchase at the store before you get to the cashier. Add the cost of items together and keep a running tally of your overall costs. When you get the receipt for your goods, compare your mental math with the actual cost of what you purchased. For instance, if your cereal costs $3.99 and soap costs $9.49, your total cost would be $13.48. Wait until your tank is almost empty, then multiply the cost of gas by your tank size. For instance, if you had a 12-gallon tank, and gas was $3.50 you could multiply 12x$3.50 = $42. You can also cover up the cost of the gas on the pump while looking at the gallons and use mental math to calculate your total cost. You can use multiplication to figure out costs if you're buying more than one of the same item. For instance, if you bought 4 candy bars for 2 dollars each, you'd have 4x$2.00 = $8.00. Round the cost of the product to the nearest dollar, and calculate the percentage of the sale. For instance, if there was a 7% discount on a $9.65 item, you could round up to $10. 7% of 10 is 0.7 or 70 cents, which is approximately how much you'd save.  Ten percent off of $9.65 is actually 0.97 cents. If you are buying a case of water that costs $5 and it's 25% off, your savings would be $1.25. If you need to split a bill, you can divide the bill by the number of people who have to pay to determine how much each person owes. For instance, if you had a heating bill that cost $125.36 and you have 3 roommates, you'd divide $125.36 by 4 to get $31.34.  If you wanted to break down the equation to make it easier, work on the dollar amounts first, then the cents. Breakdown $125 to $100 to make it easier to divide by 4 or $100/4=25. Then divide $25/4 to get the remaining numbers that you're missing. Add the remainder or $6 to $25 to get the whole number of $31.

The bohemian style is all about having fun with your clothing. If you want to dress as a bohemian, you need to stay away from dull, all neutral outfits. Instead, start wearing pieces in vivid red, vibrant orange, and eye-catching turquoise. If it’s fun and bright, it’s bohemian. To embrace the bohemian style, remember that patterns are your best friend. Look for retro prints, tribal designs, and whimsical patterns. If you find pieces with fun patterns in crazy colors, even better! Paisley, tie dye, and Suzani patterns are all must-haves for the bohemian wardrobe. Any piece of clothing or accessory with flowers on it is perfect to achieve a bohemian look. Embrace florals and don’t be afraid to over-do it. If someone calls you a “flower child,” you’re doing it right. Bold, colorful, show-stopping flowers are a staple in a bohemian wardrobe.

TL;DR in English: Embrace bold colors. Hunt for pieces with fun patterns. Get floral.

Place your egg yolk and half the sugar in a mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk to beat the egg yolk and sugar together. Keep beating until everything is mixed evenly. Then, set this mixture aside for now. In a pot, mix your cream, half-and-half, remaining sugar, and salt. Place the pot over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture often. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then reduce the heat to medium. Pour half a cup of your egg yolk mixture into the cream, half-and-half, and salt mixture. Add the egg yolk mixture gradually while whisking the half-and-half mixture constantly. Keep pouring and whisking until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Add another half a cup of the egg yolk mixture to the pot. Repeat the exact same process. Pour the mixture in gradually while whisking constantly to mix everything together. Use a heat proof spatula. Keeping the pot over medium heat, stir the mixture constantly. Cook the mixture until it begins to thicken. Times will vary depending on the precise heat of your stove. Once the mixture begins to coat the spatula, cook it for an additional one to two minutes before removing it from the heat. Get a clean bowl and a fine mesh sieve. Strain the mixture into the clean bowl through the sieve. Use a wire whisk and vigorously beat the ingredients together. Keep whisking everything together until it's mixed evenly. Fill a larger bowl with ice. Place the bowl with your ingredients into the ice bath. Use a wire whisk to stir the mixture occasionally. Keep the bowl in the ice bath until the mixture cools to room temperature. Take the bowl out of the ice bath. Cover it completely with plastic wrap. Freeze the bowl for at least two hours. However, it's best to freeze the bowl overnight. Make sure the bowl you're using is freezer safe. If it's not, transfer the mixture to a freezer safe bowl. When you're ready to serve the ice cream, use a spatula or wire whisk to vigorously churn the mixture. This will remove any ice chunks and get it to a creamy texture. Then, place it back in the freezer...

Before they are ripe, cotton bolls are closed up and resemble large seeds. They are greenish brown in color and often solid. Once the plant goes into bloom, it develops the white, fluffy cotton. If you are using a cotton picker, wait until the majority of your crops have exposed cotton balls. This way, you can maximize your yield. Cotton is typically planted in April. In general, it takes 150-180 days from planting until cotton is ready for harvest. If you live in an area with warm temperatures in the spring and summer, your cotton should be ready for harvest by the end of July. Do this if you live somewhere with very warm springs and summers. Local weather and growing conditions cause the cotton to develop faster or slower depending on your particular region. If your cotton is not ready for harvest in July, let it grow until the bolls open up. This on average occurs throughout the fall if you live in an area with more mild spring and summer weather.

TL;DR in English: Harvest your crops when the bolls open up and expose the fluffy cotton. Start harvesting cotton in July if you live in warm climates. Pick cotton through November if you live in cold climates.

You can engage the different muscles in your body without using or disturbing your broken wrist. To strengthen the muscles in your legs, do simple squats and lunges and keep your arms neutral on the sides of your body.  Do squats by standing in a wide stance, facing forward and keeping your back straight. While pushing your hips and butt back and knees slightly forward, squat down until your thighs are slightly past parallel to the floor. Remember to keep feet and knees pointed in the same direction. Your knees should never extend beyond your toes. Straighten and repeat.  Do alternate lunges by stepping forward with one leg. Then, lower your body by flexing the hip and knee of the front leg until your rear knee almost touches the floor. Return up and lunge forward using the opposite leg. Although many back exercises require the use of dumbbells and weights, you can do bodyweight exercises that can be done with a broken wrist.  Do bridges by laying on the floor on your back with your arms resting next to your body. Keep your feet flat on the floor and knees bent. Slowly raise your bottom up until your knees and shoulders form a straight line. Remain in this position for 10 – 15 seconds, then lower and repeat.  The dart is another exercise you can do with a broken wrist. Lie down on your stomach and keep your arms extended toward your feet next to your body. Lift your upper body and legs off the floor at the same time using your back muscles. Count to 10 – 15, relax, and repeat. Abs are easily worked with a broken wrist when you choose exercises such as twists and crunches.  To begin with crunches, lie flat on the floor with your lower legs on a bench. Keep your arm with your broken wrist on your side at all times, and bring your other arm up behind your neck. Raise your upper body from the mat by contracting your abdominal muscles. Raise your torso as high as you can while keeping your lower back on the floor. Bring your torso back down, and repeat.  With twists, both your arms are extended out to each side...

Update your wardrobe for current trends. Organize a shopping trip. Give away any clothes that you don't wear. Mix and match clothes

Couches are made of many different materials, and while some can be cleaned safely with water, others require special cleaning solutions. Have a look at the upholstery tag on your couch to look for the letter code W, S, SW, or X:  W, S, and SW mean you can clean the couch with water- or solvent-based cleaners. X means you can't clean the couch with water or solvents, so you'll have to take it to a professional to clean the blood. Before using any cleaner on your couch, you should always perform a spot test to ensure the cleaner won’t bleach the fabric, make the color bleed, or otherwise damage the material. Perform the spot test by applying cleaner to an inconspicuous area and letting it sit for 24 hours. Cleaners you may need to spot test for your couch are:  Rubbing alcohol Hydrogen peroxide Soap and water solution Upholstery cleaner Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the area and loosen any dried blood that may still be on the surface of the material. This will make the stain easier to clean. After brushing, wipe the area with a dry cloth to remove flakes of dried blood. Dampen a clean cloth with cold water or rubbing alcohol. Wring out the cloth to remove excess liquid. Dab the stain with the damp white cloth to saturate the area with liquid.  Use only cold water to blot the area, as hot water can set the stain. It’s important to use white cloths to clean the couch, otherwise dye from the cloths may transfer to the couch. Water is safe to use for couches marked with W and SW letter codes. Alcohol is safe to use on couches marked with S and SW codes. Use a fresh cloth to blot the area and remove excess blood and liquid from the couch. Be sure to blot rather than rub, as rubbing can push the stain deeper into the couch and make it harder to clean. Keep dabbing until the cloth comes away dry.

TL;DR in English: Check the care label. Spot test your cleaners. Brush away excess blood. Blot the area with water or isopropyl alcohol. Dab the area dry.

Have 2 or 3 people help you lift the wrapped piano on the piano board onto the dolly. The flat shelf of the dolly will be about 3 inches (7.6 cm) high, so you’ll need to lift the body of the piano at least that high. Make sure to center the piano on the dolly so that it won’t tilt off on one side or the other.  A sturdy 4-wheeled dolly will be able to hold the weight of a large, heavy piano as it’s wheeled from stage to moving truck. Do not attempt to move a grand piano with a 2-wheeled dolly. You could offer your friends pizza and beer after the move is completed to entice them to help you. Move slowly, and have 2 or 3 people help you roll the piano on the dolly. Keep the piano balanced and upright as you wheel it across sidewalks and the asphalt surface of the parking lot to the waiting moving truck.  If you need to move the piano down stairs, you could lay a piece of plywood on the stairs for the dolly to roll down. Remember to put safety first, and keep the piano from tipping over or rolling on someone’s foot. Wheel the piano and dolly up the loading ramp into the moving truck, and then lift the piano off of the dolly. (Or, if the dolly has wheel locks, keep the piano on the dolly and lock the wheels) Keep the piano in its vertical position. Then, use 3 or 4 buckle straps to secure the piano firmly to the wall of the moving truck.  You’ll need to set the wrapped legs and lyre in the moving truck too, but these can be placed just about anywhere. You could even set them on the passenger seat in the cab with you. It’s best to rent a moving truck when moving a piano. Even if the piano would fit in a large pickup truck bed, you won’t be able to strap the piano vertically to the side of the truck. If you don’t have time to properly disassemble, pack, and move the piano, you can contact a piano-moving company and have them do it for you. These companies are highly specialized and move only pianos, so they’re skilled at what they do. Look for a piano-moving company on the Piano Movers Network directory:...

TL;DR in English: Set the wrapped body of the piano on a sturdy dolly. Roll the piano to a moving truck. Strap the piano firmly in place. Hire a piano moving company.

Being fashionable requires a bit of creative improvisation. Experiment with new looks and disregard anything that you don't feel comfortable with.  Updating your wardrobe can seem like a daunting task and can easily get expensive, which can be difficult especially if you’re still growing and don’t have a lot of extra money, but you can do a lot with a little. Separate your clothes into two categories: clothes you like and wear, and clothes you don’t wear. Clean out your wardrobe by donating or selling the clothes you don’t wear. Then take a look at your “keep” pile. Note which clothes are fashionable and which ones aren’t. This will help you start to build a base for your updated wardrobe. Ask a parent, older sibling, girlfriend, or any fashionable friend to go shopping with you. They might be able to offer advice and pick out some great clothes for you.  Your siblings or your friends will be able to give you advice on what works or doesn’t work for you and can help you pick out something that you might not on your own. Create a list of clothing items that you need as staples. For example, you may want to get one pair of jeans you can wear for almost any occasion, a pair of chinos, a casual button down shirt, dress shirt, and a sweater. Often times we hang onto clothes that don't fit or we hardly ever wear. Gather up these clothes and donate them to a charitable organization or sell them to a resale shop. Be prepared that your parents may be reluctant to throw out clothes that still fit you.  If your parents are reluctant to let you get rid of the clothes you already have, you can try selling them to earn your own money for new clothes. Just make sure that you are upfront with your parents. Being a teenager can make it hard to find the right fit since you may grow several inches in just a few months. Check out consignment stores for cheaper clothes, or shops like H&M and asos, which offer plenty of trendy items at lower prices.  Shopping at stores that offer lower prices can also help you to convince your...

Empty the lint screen. Unplug your dryer. Move your dryer. Remove the tube. Vacuum out the vent. Put everything back in place.

The most straightforward way to lose your voice is simply to use your voice box until it can't be used any more. Vocal activities like talking, shouting, singing, etc. require the vocal cords of the larynx to vibrate smoothly - with overuse, these cords can become inflamed, interfering with your ability to do these things. Try talking constantly at as loud of a volume as is reasonable for wherever you are. With persistence, your voice should eventually begin to fatigue. The more you talk the better!  If you're looking for opportunities to talk loudly and at great length, try signing up for a public speaking class or simply holding conversations in a crowded bar or club. Singing can put serious demands on the vocal cords - singing at a high volume or in a very low or high register, even more so. These dangers are amplified if you're not a trained or experienced singer. So, for a sure-fire way to ruin your voice, try singing at full volume in a vocal register that's difficult for you.  Obviously, you'll want to make it a point to avoid performing warm-up exercises before you sing. If you're embarrassed to sing loudly, try singing in the car with all of the doors closed and the windows rolled up. Other motorists will assume you're just singing along to the radio. Though it's not uncommon for people with colds to cough until they lose their voice, you don't necessarily have to have a cold to cough. Any kind of repeated coughing will irritate your larynx and eventually cause inflammation that can lead to losing your voice. Try combining your coughs with one of the other methods in this article for maximum effect. As with shouting and singing, excessive coughing in the long term can cause lasting pain and damage to the throat. As discussed above, a dry throat is a throat that's easy to wear out. To speed up the process of losing your voice, allow your mouth and throat to dry out by keeping your mouth open throughout the day. This will work especially well if you live in a dry climate. If you're worried about how...

TL;DR in English: Talk, talk, talk. Sing. Cough. Keep your mouth open. Don't drink water. Consume acidic foods and/or dairy. Drink very cold water.

So you're not content with the basic ideas above? In this section, we'll discuss some more "out-there" ideas for covering your binder. For example, if your binder and the cover are different colors, consider using a negative space design for a striking effect.  Negative space is the area that surrounds an object. Playing with both negative and positive space in your picture will help bring balance and interest to your design.  To create a negative space design, take a blank cover and cut shapes, letters, pictures, and so on into it — the binder underneath will show through and appear to give these shapes their own color. If you're worried about the holes in your cover allowing your binder to wear, cover them with clear packing tape. You'll still get the negative space effect, but your binder will be well-protected. Ever notice how chewing gum usually comes in a shiny foil wrapper? If you have a lot of these wrappers lying around, you can use them to give your binder a cool metallic sheen. Gently flatten the gum wrappers and stick them to your binder cover (or the binder itself) with a small amount of glue. Repeat until the whole surface is covered. Voila—a metallic binder.  If you're having a hard time getting the wrappers perfectly smooth, try rubbing them with a coin or the front of your fingernail to smooth them out. You can also use clear packing tape here as well to put a clear protective layer over your wrappers. Don't throw away your calendars after the year is over — instead, use the photos or artwork inside as a cover. Simply cut the picture out, lay it on your binder, trim the edges to fit if necessary, and cover it with clear packing tape to secure it. This thick, durable tape is great for protecting your binder and can give it a semi-metallic sheen. You can also find a wide array of color selections. If you don't want to stick the tape directly to your binder, try making a "sheet" of tape by sticking two layers of tape so that their sticky sides face each other.  Making basic designs like...

TL;DR in English: Use negative space designs. Make a metallic gum wrapper cover. Use old calendar photos for big, gorgeous images. Make duct tape patterns. Add your favorite quotes. Give your binder an aged look. Bedazzle your binder. Make a collaborative cover with your friends.

To start, empty out the lint screen the same way you would after doing laundry. You should do this each time you do laundry. When cleaning the vent, check the lint screen first and remove any small amounts of lint. It's always good to start with a clean lint screen when cleaning your dryer. Never start cleaning a dryer vent while the dryer is still plugged in. This can be extremely dangerous. Find where your dryer's cord is plugged into the wall. Disconnect the plug. The dryer vent is found behind the dryer. You will need to pull your dryer away from the wall to clean your vent. Sometimes, very heavy dryers cannot be moved. It may also be hard to move a dryer if you have limited space in your laundry room. In these cases, you may need to hire professional cleaners. If your dryer is very heavy, find someone to help you. The dryer vent is a hole that runs through your wall. There will be a tube connecting the dryer to the vent, attached to the wall with screws. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws. Then, remove the tube from the wall so you can access the vent.  The type of screwdriver you need varies. Examine the screws to see if you need a Phillips or flathead screw driver. Keep the screws in the same place. You will need them later to reattach the tube. Take your vacuum cleaner's nozzle attachment. Vacuum out the vent that runs into the wall, sticking the nozzle into the vent as far as it will reach. Then, vacuum out the tube running into the dryer, again vacuum the tube as far as the nozzle reaches. You should remove a great deal of lint this way. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, use a flexible dust brush with an extendable handle. You can also use compressed air to blow lint out of the dryer vent. Reattach the nozzle running from the dryer in the wall by placing the screws back in place. Then, slide the dryer back into place. Plug the dryer back in. Your dryer should be ready to use now and, as the vent is clean, you should see a noticeable improvement in drying times.

Many planners and advisors require that their clients have an investment portfolio of at least a minimum value, sometimes $100,000 or more. This means it could be hard to find an advisor willing to work with you if your portfolio isn't well established. In that case, look for an advisor interested in helping smaller investors. How do financial planners help? Planners are professionals whose job is to invest your money for you, ensure that your money is safe, and guide you in your financial decisions. They draw from a wealth of experience at allocating resources. Most importantly, they have a financial stake in your success: the more money you make under their tutelage, the more money they make. The herd instinct, alluded to earlier, is the idea that just because a lot of other people are doing something, you should, too.  Many successful investors have made moves that the majority thought were unwise at the time.  That doesn't mean, however, that you should never seek investment advice from other people. Just be wise about choosing the people you listen to. Friends or family members with a successful background in investing can offer worthwhile advice, as can professional advisors who charge a flat fee (rather than a commission) for their help. Invest in smart opportunities when other people are scared. In 2008 as the housing crisis hit, the stock market shed thousands of points in a matter of months. A smart investor who bought stocks as the market bottomed out enjoyed a strong return when stocks rebounded. This reminds us to buy low and sell high. It takes courage to buy investments when they are becoming cheaper (in a falling market) and sell those investments when they are looking better and better (a rising market). It seems counter-intuitive, but it's how the world's most successful investors made their money. Your life and conditions in the market change all the time, so your investment strategy should change with them. Never be so committed to a stock or bond that you can't see it for what it's worth....

TL;DR in English: Consider using the services of a financial planner or advisor. Buck the herd instinct. Re-examine your investment goals and strategies every so often.

You should take your pet to the vet when you first get it, to make sure it is in good health. Like other animals, you should also take your lizard to the vet once a year for a checkup. Most lizards need de-worming at some point in their lives. Ask your vet about it. Runny feces are a sign of poor health, at least if they last for more than 48 hours, and you need to consult a vet. Similarly, not going to the bathroom is also a problem.  Look for weight loss. Sudden weight loss can also be an issue. It may mean your lizard is not eating or drinking, and you need to talk to your vet.  Keep an eye on other changes. Other changes that could be a sign your lizard is sick include a runny nose, eyes, or mouth, or it may have joints that swell up or have trouble shedding its skin. Alternatively, you may notice discolored skin or the fact that it's avoiding open spaces more. New lizards you bring into your home should be kept in a separate cage for at least a month. That way, if your new lizard has a disease, it won't give it to your other lizards. Always feed, water, and clean the cage of the quarantined lizard last to prevent infection of the other lizards. You should completely clean the cage once a week. However, you should check the cage every day to take out uneaten food, remove shed skin, and take out poop. You should also clean up any spills, as well as clean the food and water dishes.  Place your reptile in another clean cage or container while you're cleaning out the cage once a week.  Put gloves on. Take everything out of the cage. Throw away any liners, sand, or bedding you may have used.  Clean and sterilize the water and food bowls. Wash in hot, soapy water. Use a disinfectant afterwards, but make sure to rinse it out thoroughly and then dry it.  Wash out the cage. You may find this part easiest to do outside. Use hot water and soap to scrub down the cage. You can use a clean toothbrush to help you scrub if need be. Also, wash and clean any decorations the same way.  Disinfect the cage. You can use one...

TL;DR in English: Take your lizard to the vet. Watch for health problems. Quarantine new lizards. Clean the cage. Provide stimulation.

Crickets are always a safe bet, as all tarantulas are insectivores. Depending on the tarantula, live grasshoppers, katydids, moths, mealworms, superworms), houseflies or cockroaches might also provide a welcome meal. Some tropical tarantulas will eat larger worms, like earthworms, and some larger tarantulas will accept live baby rodents, mice, lizards, and snakes. You can buy live crickets and other prey online or in pet stores. Buy insects in tubs or bulk orders, and keep them alive and well-fred. The ideal size for your tarantula's prey is about half the tarantula's leg span, or slightly smaller than the length of its body. Though large tropical spiders sometimes eat prey as large as themselves, in most cases you should opt for smaller creatures. Large prey may fight back and exhaust your spider.  A young tarantula of about 4 weeks old may have a two-inch leg span and a one-inch body, so you would feed it a cricket of about ¾ inch in length. Baby tarantulas are sometimes willing to scavenge dead insects, so if your crickets are too big you can cut them into appropriately sized portions. If your insects are small, you can serve up to four at a time to a large tarantula. However, this may cause your tarantula stress, and you may wish to serve them one at a time or to buy larger insects. Buy a large plastic storage box with a secure lid. The box should be deep, about 14 inches, so that the crickets can't easily hop out when you take the lid off. Use a soldering iron or a sharp object to poke two hundred or more holes in the lid and along the rim of the box. The hole should be small enough that the crickets can't fit through.  Humidity will kill the crickets. Keep the box in a dry place, and don't overcrowd it. You can store about a 1000 crickets in a 18 by 14 inch box. Put egg cartons and toilet paper tubes in the box for the crickets to climb over and hide on. This will prevent the crickets from crowding along a single surface and generating humidity.

Have a special ceremony to bury your pet or scatter the ashes. Invite your child to express his or her feelings through a drawing or a letter. Plant a special tree or flower to honor your pet. Set aside a place in your home as a memorial spot for your pet. Create a scrapbook of your child’s favorite memories.

Non-stick cooking spray also works well for preventing your pita bread from sticking to the pan. Coat the pan well with oil or non-stick cooking spray and turn the heat on medium high. Let the pan heat for a few minutes before putting the first piece of pita dough into the pan. The pan needs to be very hot for the pita to puff up and cook properly. If it is not hot enough, the pita dough will not puff up, which is necessary for the pita to form a pocket in the center. Unpuffed pita bread is still useable, but you will not be able to stuff it. Press the air out with the back of your spatula or tongs before removing it from the griddle. Then, place the pita bread onto a plate. To keep the pita bread warm while the rest of the pita bread cooks, place a piece of foil or a pan lid over the plate. Pita bread tastes best when you eat it fresh. However, you can store your pita bread in an air-tight container or bag for up to 1 week in the refrigerator, or for up to 3 months in the freezer. Stack the pita bread and place wax paper between the pieces of pita bread to keep them from sticking together. Then, place the stack of pita bread into an air-tight plastic or glass container, or in a resealable bag. Place the bag in the refrigerator or freezer. Write the date on the container or bag to ensure that you use the pita bread in time.

TL;DR in English: Heat 0.5  fl oz (15 mL) of olive oil in a cast iron pan. Remove the cooked pita bread from the heat and place it onto a plate. Eat the pita bread immediately or store it in the refrigerator or freezer.

Skirts come in all different lengths, sizes, and styles, making it easier to pick one that will highlight the parts of your body you’d like it to. Think about what the ideal skirt would look like on you to help you decide which style will be best.  For example, if you don’t like your knees, you’re going to want to choose a skirt that hits below the knee. If you love your legs, you might pick out a miniskirt. These are skirts that will take the attention away from your stomach and pull it to your waist. High-waisted A-line skirts are a great option—A-line skirts are fitted at the waist and slowly widen as they reach the hem. Pick out an empire-style skirt, which has a fitted waist and a skirt that flows out, for a comfortable, laid-back option. If the bottom portion of your body is wider than the top portion, an A-line skirt's tighter waist will help draw attention to the smallest part of your waist while letting the skirt flare out at your hips. Pick out dark-colored A-line skirts that hit your knee for a great look. For example, choose a navy blue A-line skirt with a tie waist. If you have lots of curves, a pencil skirt will flaunt them in a flattering way as pencil skirts are very narrow and fitted. Choose a skirt that brings attention to your waist, such as a skirt with a belt or tie-waist, while also making sure the skirt isn't too tight.  Try wearing an A-line pencil skirt that's tighter in the waist and flows out in the skirt. Black pencil skirts are a great option that will go with almost any top. Pencil skirts are known for being tighter than others, so try walking around in your skirt before selecting it. This includes pencil skirts that aren’t too tight on your body, as well as A-line skirts with a loose skirt. Avoid choosing a skirt with tons of fabric, and stick to ones that show off the natural curves of your body instead of just covering them up. Pick out a pencil skirt that comes just below your knees to show off some leg, or opt for an A-line skirt in a fun pattern to add a bit of flare. If no...

TL;DR in English: Decide what you want your skirt to accentuate or hide. Try on high-waisted options if your body is shaped like an apple. Pick out an A-line skirt if your body is pear shaped. Select a pencil skirt to show off an hourglass body. Choose skirts with a defined waist if you’re plus size. Opt for skirts that hug your body if you’re ruler shaped. Wear a flared skirt if your body is shaped like an inverted triangle. Show off long legs with a flowy maxi skirt. Choose a shorter skirt to seem taller if you're petite.

The process of burying or scattering a pet’s ashes can be a good way to help your child say goodbye and grieve. Plan a special ceremony to honor the life of your pet. You might even ask your child to help you plan the ceremony, if you think that he or she would like to do so. Your child might also find it helpful to draw a picture of the deceased pet or to write a letter to the pet that expresses how he or she feels. Ask your child if either of these activities sound appealing and offer your support.  You can guide your child through the process by sitting nearby and offering support if he or she wants advice on what to draw or what to say in the letter. After your child has drawn a picture or composed a letter, invite your child to put it somewhere special, such as on the pet’s grave or in a favorite sleeping spot. Your child may also like the idea of planting a special tree or flower in the backyard to honor your pet. Ask your child to help you pick out a tree or flower to plant. Then, choose a spot together and plant the tree or flower in your pet’s honor. An indoor memorial can also be a great way for your child to remember a beloved pet. Try setting aside a special place for a favorite photo of the pet, such as on the mantle over the fireplace or on a small end table. Put the photo into a nice picture frame and place the photo in the special spot. Invite your child to help you light a candle next to the picture frame to help keep the memory of your pet alive. Ask your child to help you put together a scrapbook of favorite memories with your pet. Pick out some photos that have special significance to your child and help your child put these photos into a scrapbook. Let your child keep the scrapbook in his or her room so that he or she can always look through it to remember happy times with the beloved pet.

TL;DR in English:


Pick the baton exchange method. Stay on the correct side of the lane. Decide where to relay the baton. Keep running after you release the baton. Do speed drills. Practice the whole race.

You may be surprised to discover how deeply ingrained this habit is—both physically and mentally. Breaking it will help your brain cope with attempting more involved tasks down the road.  If you open doors with your right hand by default, start opening them with your left. If you usually take the first step on a staircase with your right foot, do it with the left. Keep working at it until leading with your left feels natural and easy. Good activities to start with include:  Eating your food (especially using a spoon). Blowing your nose. Scrubbing dishes. Brushing your teeth. Dialing phone number and writing SMS on a cell phone. Now that your left hand is comfortable with sloppier movements like scrubbing and brushing, begin refining your hand-eye coordination.  Tracing is a great place to start: having a defined edge to work with will help force your eye, which is visually tracing the outline, and your left hand, which is physically tracing it, to work in sync. Trace your right hand onto a piece of paper. Pushing the pencil against 3-D contours will help guide the left hand. Graduate to tracing 2-D images. You can think of this as taking down the gutter guards at the bowling alley. The hardest thing is to remember to use your non-dominant hand consistently during the day, so you need a good way to remind you not to use your dominant hand.  The thumb is used in almost every situation you use your dominant hand. Not being able to move it freely is an excellent way to make you aware of all the times you are using it—so try tying your right thumb to your right index finger with a piece of string. You could also try wearing a glove on your right hand or putting your right hand in your pocket or behind your back.

TL;DR in English: Resist the urge to lead with your right side. Do simple, everyday tasks with your left hand. Practice more precise movements. Tie up your right hand.

Anywhere, such as near your locker or at the water fountain, you can find someone that has things in common with you, all you need is to know how to approach them. Strike up a conversation, smile and compliment them, and, of course, introduce yourself and tell them where you came from! You never know where you can find a nice friend. Since you’re new, people are likely going to be curious about you and will be more open to talking with you. Take advantage of this. . It doesn’t matter whether it’s a club, the theater group or a sports team. It’ll give you the chance to meet new people that you’ll see regularly, two things that encourage the formation of new friendships. On top of that, joining extra-curricular activities means you’ll find others who enjoy the things you do more easily. You can also use this opportunity to try new things you might not have wanted to do at your old school. A new school is a chance to reinvent yourself, so don’t be afraid to try new things! You're probably not the only one and at the very least, you'll have one thing in common: you're both in an unfamiliar environment. Since being new is something that you all have in common, making new friends shouldn't be that hard. Talk about your old school, your new school, your opinions, grades, teachers, and you’re bound to find something in common. You’ll be noticed more there than at the front or the back of the class. You’ll have an easier time making conversation with people, and are more likely to be paired up with a variety of people for group projects. You might not necessarily make friends on your first day at your new school, and that’s okay. Building friendships takes time, and you need to find the right people as well. As long as you don’t give up, you’ll eventually find people you can call your friends.

TL;DR in English: Make the first move. Join after school activities, such as a club or play. Look for other people who are new to the school. Try to sit in the middle of the classroom. Give it time.

There are generally three methods of passing the baton: the upsweep, the down sweep, and the push pass. Try all three and see which your teammates prefer:  Upsweep: the outgoing runner runs with their hand behind them at hip level, palm down and thumb outstretched to form a V shape. The incoming runner inserts the baton upward between the thumb and fingers. Downsweep: similar to the upsweep, but the outgoing runner's hand is palm up and receives the baton in a downward motion. Push pass: the outgoing runner holds their arm high up behind them, with the palm sideways and the thumb pointing down. The incoming runner holds the baton vertically and pushes it into the palm. When all goes well, the relay race is a smooth series of transfers, with no awkward jerks across the lane or switching from an athlete's left hand to the right. Practice this pattern until all four runners find it automatic:  First runner holds baton in right hand and runs on the inside edge of the lane. Second runner holds baton in left hand and stays on the outside. Third runner holds baton in right hand and stays on the inside. Fourth runner holds baton in left hand and receives on the outside. Each baton handoff must occur inside a 20-meter changeover zone, between two yellow marks. The outgoing runner can start running up to 10 meters ahead of the changeover zone, but can only receive the baton within the zone. Use tactics as well as trial and error to find an exchange position that maximizes speed and smooth handoffs:  Ideally, you can exchange the baton about 5 meters from the end of the zone. This gives the outgoing runner more time to accelerate before receiving.  If the athletes have trouble with a quick handoff, or if they get nervous and slow down while waiting, exchange the baton just past the middle of the zone.  If one athlete is significantly faster than the others, they can receive earlier in the zone, carrying the baton for more than 100 meters. A huge mistake in relay racing is to slow down before you release the baton. The...

Wear one plaid piece of clothing at a time. When in doubt, pair your plaid with neutral solids. Match one color in the plaid with other colored clothes you wear. Pick an appropriate color for the occasion. Pick a comfortable fabric for the season. Pick a print pattern and size that compliments your outfit. Don't forget plaid accessories.

Traditional top hat material is no longer manufactured, but there are several modern day alternatives you can choose from. When looking for a material to use, gravitate toward fabrics that are fairly stiff and heavy. Light, floppy material will produce a floppy hat.  Craft felt is one of the most popular options you can use. It is easy to find, affordable, easy to work with, and comes in a range of colors. Polar fleece and tightly-woven wool are other possible options. Fosshape, buckram, and plastic canvas can be a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but they also tend to be a little stiffer and may produce a more pleasing result when all is said and done. If you cannot find these materials in the color you want, you can paint or dye them that color. You will need to cut out two round circles of equal proportions. The longest diameter of these circles should be about 15 inches (38 cm). The brim pieces will be stacked and sewn together to create a double layer. This is done so that the brim has more structure and support. If you only use one piece of material for the brim, it may lack the structure it needs to be convincing. The flue is the tall, chimney-like portion of the top hat that creates the signature look of the style. You will need to cut out two rectangular flue pieces of equal proportions. The length should be 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm) and the width should be 24 inches (61 cm).  Like the brim, the “flue” will also consist of a double layer of fabric for the purpose of providing adequate support. Without this double layer, the top hat is likely to sink or fold over on itself once you place it on your head. If you would like to create a more playful version of the top hat, you can also cut out separate bands in alternating colors to form the flue. Stitch the bands together lengthwise so that they form a single flue piece with a height of 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm). You only need to cut out one piece of material for the top of the hat. Cut a circle that is 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter. Unlike...

Make sure that there's no car behind you before you try to parallel park. If there is a car behind you, wait for it to pass or pull into a driveway or side-street ahead, and then approach the spot again. This will let other cars know that you're parking. Shift your transmission down so that you approach the spot at no more than 2–3 mph (3.2–4.8 km/h). If you're driving an automatic car, just lightly press the brake, and if you're driving a manual car, shift down to a lower gear and lightly press the brake. It should be at least a foot apart from the car. If it's too close, then you may hit the car when you start moving backward.  Continue to check your mirrors and blind spots to make sure that the coast is still clear.  Turn around before you begin to move backwards.  If you're driving an automatic car, that's all you need to do. If you're driving a manual car, then you should slowly let go of the clutch as you press the gas. If you're parking on a hill, then you can keep pressing the clutch and just slowly move your foot off the brake.  Continue to back up until you're fully in the space. You may not get it on your first try. You can move back and steer your wheel away from the curb, then move forward again while steering your wheel toward the curb, and repeat this process until you've got it right. Shift it into first gear if you're driving a manual car, and shift the car into Park if you're driving Pull forward until you're evenly positioned between the car in front of you and the car behind you. Keep your foot on the brake as you turn your wheels in the right direction. If you're pulling into a flat spot, just straighten your wheels. If you've parked uphill, you can turn your wheels away from the curb, and if you've parked downhill, you can turn your wheels toward the curb. This will keep your car from rolling away if your brakes are disengaged. Pull forward until you're evenly positioned between the car in front of you and the car behind you.

TL;DR in English: Check your rear-view mirrors. Turn on your signal. Slow down your car. Pull your car so that it's parallel with the car in front of the open space. Shift into Reverse (R). Back up. Turn your wheel toward the curb. Lightly press the gas. Move the car backward until it's halfway in the parking space. Steer your wheel away from the curb. Park the car. Turn your wheels in the right direction. Shift into first gear. Pull up your parking brake.

Plaid comes in many different colors and styles. However, its crisscrossing lines mean it's almost always fairly attention-grabbing. This means pairing multiple pieces of plaid clothing with each other can be overwhelming or "busy" to look at. There's one exception to this rule. If you have one plaid accessory (like a scarf, purse, hat, pair of shades, etc.) that's designed to match your main plaid piece, you can usually get away with wearing both together. This is a great "go-to" style choice when you're trying to add plaid to your wardrobe. Solid colors offer simple contrast to the complicated interwoven patterns of plaid. On top of this, neutral tones are versatile in terms of which plaid patterns they can pair with. Not every plaid shirt will pair with bright yellow chinos, for instance, but most will pair with a simple pair of jeans or khakis quite nicely.  Neutral colors include: White, black, khaki, muted blue denim, grey, and most browns and beiges. You don't always have to wear plaid with neutral tones. However, if you want to wear plaid with colored clothes, try to pick a plaid piece with one color that is close to the other color in your outfit. For example, if you're wearing a set of bright blue jeans, you might wear a plaid shirt that includes a few stripes that are a similar shade of blue. The colors don't have to match exactly — light blue can go with dark blue and so on. Today, clothing sellers offer plaid garments in a huge variety of colors and shades. This means that you have lots of freedom when it comes to assembling your outfit. As long as you're following the color-matching rules above, there aren't any strict rules here, but a few general suggestions are below.   Brighter, more flowery shades tend to be best for casual events and warmer months.  Darker, more muted shades tend to be more formal and more appropriate for colder weather. For example, you would probably not wear pink plaid to a job interview, but navy blue plaid might work well.  Intricately-stitched patterns can give an...

Drawing attention to your upper body is key to dressing for a larger butt. You’ll also want to find tops that add weight or curves to your shoulders and chest. In doing both, you’ll distract from your behind while also using your clothes to add proportion for a more balanced figure.  Go for bold colors and patterns. Don’t over-do it to the point of being garish, but look for eye-catching colors and provocative patterns to keep all eyes up top. Look for horizontal necklines. They draw the eye while also slimming the waist. Try bell sleeves. They widen your shoulder line to make a clean line with your larger backside, balancing your silhouette. Stock up on necklaces and scarves. These are two of the most valuable accessories you have for dealing with a bigger behind. Necklaces (especially larger ones) will keep eyes on your top and neckline while scarves add width to your shoulders. If you’re chosen method of dealing with your behind is to reduce its presence, look for dark colors (especially in pants). Have tops (including jackets and sweaters) that reach low on your body, just after where your butt begins. The eye is drawn to where the garment ends, so they gloss over your butt entirely.   The A-line dress is praised for its ability to hide any behind. Find more than a couple that you like; if you can make them a part of your style, the A-line dress will be your best fashion friend. Buy slimming shapewear/underwear. These will slim your waist, butt, and thighs for an overall slighter look. Vertical features such as zippers and pleats make the waist and backside appear slimmer. Look for tops with these qualities. Look for large back pockets, low waistbands and wide legs. The pockets serve as a diversion for the eyes, the waistband will have your butt appear smaller, and flared legs help to even out your silhouette. If your intention is to draw attention away from your hips, avoid skinny jeans which taper at the ankle.  Find high-waisted shorts or pants for a classic look. The high-waist connects your butt to...

TL;DR in English: Balance top with bottom. Disguise your butt. Be particular about pants. Buy the right skirts.

Measure 2 cups (470 ml) brown basmati rice, and pour it into a medium-sized bowl of cold tap water. Use your hand to swish the rice around until the water becomes cloudy-looking and foam appears on the edges.  While rinsing it can wash away some of the rice's nutrients, brown basmati rice is typically imported and may be processed with talc, powdered glucose and rice powder. Rice connoisseurs, therefore, recommend rinsing it. Doing so will also get rid of some of the starch, which will help make your rice less gluey. Pour out the water through a mesh strainer or by tilting the bowl to the side. You can hold a plate over the bowl to keep the rice from spilling out as you drain the water. Add more cool tap water and repeat this process until the water is clear. This could require up to 10 rounds of washing the rice.  Add 2.5 cups (590 ml) cold water to the drained and rinsed rice and let it soak between 30 minutes to 24 hours depending upon the method of cooking and how long you want to cook it. The longer you allow it to soak, the less time it will take to cook.  Additionally, basmati rice is known for its rich flavor, which can be lost during the heating process. Soaking it reduces cooking time, thus preserving more of its flavor.  Soaking rice also improves its texture, making it softer and lighter. Use a mesh strainer to drain the water that has not been absorbed by the rice. You can also use a colander, but the holes must be very small so the rice doesn't escape when you strain it.
